MDS Blog Hop

Hi there!  It's time for out last MDS Hop of the year!  Today, we're sharing what we've been working on.  I haven't had a lot of time to scrapbook lately…  But, I did make something this week in MDS.  My sister-in-law recently had a baby - the cutest little girl ever!  They came over last week and she was telling me that she wished she would've bought these monthly baby stickers that she saw at a shop in Hilton Head.  And of course I thought….. well, I can make those!!  So, I did……

Here is the first set I made:




The text is in white… just not showing up that great in the photos.  (Even though I went back and re-saved them as png's.  Grrrrr…)

Then, I went and created another set:




Again, the inner circle is white….  :/

So, the idea of these is to print them on adhesive paper and make stickers out of them. Then, each month, you put them on your baby's onesie and take a photo.  Such a fun way to document your baby's growth - and of course would make cute scrapbook pages!!  I can't wait to get a picture of my sweet little niece sporting her onesies!  :)

I'm anxious to see which set she likes better.  Which one is your favorite?

I can't wait to see what the rest of the designers have been doing with MDS.  Click the button below to hop on over to Beth's blog!!

MDS Blog Hop - Christmas Traditions


Wow, this week has flown by and it's already time for our MDS Blog Hop!  Today, we're sharing Christmas/Winter memories or traditions.  I always have tons of pictures from the holidays.  Sometimes, the random little pictures on my phone end up being my favorite!  I love scrapping them because they usually give a glimpse into our everyday life.  I took some of the pictures from last year and scrapped them Project Life style.




All of these crazy little photos mean something pretty special to our family -- and that's what scrapbooking is all about!!  :)

While I was going through my layouts in MDS, I found one I created last year.  I think it might have been for our hop - so you may have seen it before! I made it with a blank photo frame.  And, I realized that I never went back and added my photo!  So, I did that and am ready to have it printed.  Yay!  Here's the finished layout:


This layout uses the fun paper from the 12 Days of Christmas Swatchbook Template download which is on sale this week for $7.77!!  It's a great download -- you don't have to use it for a swatchbook!!

Well, it's time to hop on over to Beth's blog.  I'm excited to see what she'll be sharing with us!  Click the button below to find out!

Project Life - High School

Today is another Blog Hop with my talented MDS friends!  Last time we focused on Project Life.  Today we are sharing what we've been working on in My Digital Studio. Well guess what??  I'm still working on Project Life - I'm hooked!!

My oldest son started high school (gasp) this year.  I wanted to make a scrapbook of his high school years to give to him when he graduates.  I decided to do it in MDS - Project Life style.  I'm not going week by week, but just documenting events throughout the school year as they happen.  Here are the first couple of pages that I created:



I've used the Happiness Is Project Life Cards Digital Download to start off his album. I'm still so excited that Stampin' Up! has partnered with Becky Higgins to bring us these exclusive Project Life products!  I have both the digital and the traditional versions and I just can't get enough!!  I decided to do the digital version for his album in hopes it will be easy for me to keep up over the next four years!!  Here are a few more pages I've completed:




I LOVE being able to include so many photos in these layouts.  I also love how in MDS I can add journaling & text over the photos.  I want to make sure to include lots of journaling in this special album!  (The font I used for journaling is Tahoma.)

You might have noticed that I used three different layouts for these pages.  I made templates in MDS that coordinate with the Project Life Page Protectors.  I added some stitching around the "pockets" for a fun effect.

I'm having so much fun with this album that I had to share -- even though I'm trying to keep it a secret from him over the next four years! :)   


I'm glad you stopped by and we hope you'll follow along on our Blog Hop!  Next up is Beth Rush!  I always look forward to her creations!!  Click the button below to see what she's been up to in MDS:


Have a great day!!

Laugh Out Loud

Yesterday I had a chance to scrapbook with Cindy & Monika's Virtual Crop.  Cindy posted a fun sketch that I used as inspiration for this layout:


I was going through my photos the other day and knew I wanted to scrapbook these silly pictures!

Don't you love the background on this layout?  It's from the Natural Composition Overlays.  The depth is so great!

Time to get my kiddos off to school.  Have a fabulous Thursday!

Gratitude Journal - SC91

Hi there!  It's time for another sketch challenge over at Stampin' Celebration!  I STILL don't have my craft room unpacked so I used MDS again - which you know I love!  I created a gratitude journal  (that I can't wait to get printed!!)  Here's the front cover:


 And this is the back cover:


I plan on getting this printed with the spiral binding.  I've done those in the past and I think they're easier to write in.  :)

The papers used in my journal are from the Wonderfall Kit.  It's one of the weekly deals on sale for only $4.77!!  Check it out HERE!

Wonderfall Kit #131218

We'd love for you to play along with Stampin' Celebration!  Here's the sketch to use as your inspiration:


You have two weeks to play along!  Link your project to the Stampin' Celebration Blog by 9 pm (EST) on Nov. 21st.  Make sure and check out the other Designers' creations as well!  

Thanks for visiting!
